Add Comment Question: Just fired from my job with Costco for an altercation with a customer. Customer punched and kicked me. Do I have any legal recourse for wrongful dismissal? Answer: If a customer physically assaulted you, your employment should not have been terminated for just cause. Therefore, you would be entitled to severance pay. To determine how much severance pay you may be owed, visit the Free Severance Calculator (http://www.severancepaycalculator.com/) and contact our firm to discuss the matter in more detail.
